Berlin After Dark: The Nightclubs You Can't Miss
Nightlife in Berlin 101.
When it comes to nightlife, Berlin has earned a solid reputation as being ground zero for all things clubbing. A pulsating core of experimental music, vibrant art and rough energy. As far as the city's nightclubs are concerned, it's more than just a place to dance, it's a cultural staple that will toss you into a labyrinth of beats until the sun comes up.
Berghain/Panorama Bar
Where to go: At Wriezen train station
Known as one of the best techno clubs in the world, Berghain is considered more than just a club. This huge old power station is home to what many consider to be the best sound system in the world and offers marathon parties that go on into the morning. The Panorama Bar upstairs has a more mellow, house-heavy vibe, while the huge windows offer an equally iconic view of the sunrise.
Watergate
Where to go: Falckensteinstraße 49
With a view of the Spree, this club features international DJs playing deep house and techno with LED lighting on the ceiling and a great view of the river from most areas. On the lower floor, the river deck is a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy the view of the city before hitting the dance floor again.
Tresor
Where to go: Köpenicker Straße 70
A cornerstone of Berlin's techno history, Tresor is an old, disused industrial power station with a raw and underground atmosphere. The club is split into house in the Globus, hard-hitting techno in the vaulted cellar and experimental sounds in the +4 Bar. The raw energy combined with the historical roots of this club make it a must for any nightlife fan.
Sisyphos
Where to go: Hauptstraße 15
Located in the remains of a former dog biscuit factory, Sisyphos is a world of its own. Featuring three dance floors, a man-made lake, a garden and even a pizza place, it's basically a festival disguised as a nightclub. But this legendary club with its week-long parties is the epitome of Berlin's 'anything-goes' attitude.
